“I knew immediately after my husband’s death that I would have to let go of my dreams. I fell into a deep depression. I was going to be a single mother so I’d have to focus everything on raising my child. I thought that I would never be able to do anything in my life again. I skipped the orientation for the German university. I missed my German language lessons. Everything seemed to be slipping away. I gave birth to my daughter and moved in with my parents. When I saw my daughter, I realized that I needed to get my life back on track. She’d already lost her father. I didn’t want her to lose her mother too. So I enrolled at the University of Damascus and continued with my studies. I graduated once again at the top of my class. I began to work as a professor while I applied for my PhD. My daughter was getting bigger. Everything seemed to be getting back on track. Then the war came.”

Mimi Writes…….: Monday Mimisms ~ Chasing Happy

Happy.

I’ll keep reaching.  But what used to make me happy only scratches the surface these days. What’s underneath in the pages of years gone by is where the real substance lies in all of us. Other people need that Well. And as you age, you learn to keep the sacred parts to yourself for those bubbly moments in the middle of the day that make you smile and give away the residual parts borne of your own struggles to others. You are no longer restless. There’s a contentment that comes with some living.  It doesn’t matter how you lived so much anymore, but why you lived and who you loved.Can I make someone else happy today?I hope so.  That’s the real happy.

Michigan GOPer Blames School Problems On Black Children | Crooks and Liars

Yes, you read that right. Poor kids and children who aren’t white are the reasons school districts fail. It has absolutely nothing to do with funding or the state’s commitment to helping those children succeed.
